Preeclampsia is a disorder of widespread vascular endothelial malfunction and vasospasm that occurs after 20 weeks' gestation and can present as late as 4-6 weeks postpartum
The aim of this study is to make it easier to predict late-onset preeclampsia at 11-14 weeks of pregnancy. This will be done by measuring certain proteins in the mother's blood together with obtaining the mother's medical history, ultrasound of the mother's blood supply to the uterus, and her blood pressure. All expectant mothers who meet the inclusion criteria will be invited to participate in the study, and those that agree will have the above mentioned factors measured at their first trimester scan appointment. The data will be registered in an online database, and the blood samples will be saved in a biobank at the hospital. When the women have then given birth around six months later, the data will be analyzed, and whether or not the individual woman ended up developing preeclampsia will be found out from her medical records. It will then be possible to see if blood samples, medical history, blood supply to the uterus, and/or blood pressure are connected to development of preeclampsia.
The investigators plan to enroll women with PE prospectively to evaluate incremental cardiovascular risk in those who have PE with severe features. This study includes detailed echocardiographic evaluation at several time points. With the current proposal, the investigators aim to collect blood to evaluate several biomarkers to determine if there is a correlation with short and medium-term cardiovascular risk. This opens the door to earlier detection, treatment and improved cardiovascular outcomes.
This proposal describes a single centre retrospective cross-sectional study which will address the need to further develop and test statistical risk prediction models for adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes in low-resource settings; this will be the first such research to be carried out in Zimbabwe.
Q MOLI is an alongside qualitative study, for the 'Misoprostol or Oxytocin for Labour Induction' (MOLI) pragmatic, open-label, randomised controlled trial, comparing a misoprostol/misoprostol regime vs the standard misoprostol/oxytocin induction of labour regime.1000 patients with hypertensive disease in pregnancy will be recruited, over 24 months, in Nagpur, India.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of education and counseling program on healthy lifestyle behaviors, self-efficacy and maternal/neonatal consequences of pregnant women with risk of preeclampsia.
Severe preeclampsia is associated with an elevation in intracranial pressure (ICP). Optic nerve sheath diameter is a non-invasive surrogate of invasive ICP measurement. This study targets to evaluate the ICP in patients with or without preeclampsia.
The aim of this pilot intervention study is to develop and test a tailored web-based lifestyle modification program for women with recent preeclampsia or gestational diabetes. Women will start the study 3-15 months postpartum. After obtaining written informed consent and confirmation of eligibility criteria, eligible women will be included in the pilot study using a single arm study design (all women will be assigned to the lifestyle intervention program). Participants will be provided access to a web-based lifestyle intervention program with personalized coaching from a registered dietician.
The FACT Biomarker Subgroup Analysis is a pilot study of mothers who participated in the Folic Acid Clinical Trial (FACT, NCT01355159). This subgroup analysis aims to determine the effect of high-dose folic acid supplementation in pregnancy on maternal folate status and subsequent impact on risk for pre-eclampsia.
